Warehousexchange is the UK's first on-line warehouse space agency.

The company was set up in July 2000 to bring together owners of warehouse space and seekers of short or medium-term shared space, using a national database of available warehouse space. The website was launched in October 2000 and now enjoys in excess of 1500 enquiries per month. Additionally, an ongoing programme of direct marketing and our team of nationally-based agents bring a constant stream of opportunities.

In August 2001 the company formed an association with NAI Gooch Webster, one of the UK's leading commercial property agents, in order to bring expertise and access to longer-term warehouse leases to the increasing number of warehousexchange clients who required this service.

The press has remained enthusiastic about the initial concept and the company's ongoing growth and success.

“PERSONAL SERVICE IS WHAT THE CLIENTS WANT” – WAREHOUSEXCHANGE BUSINESS CONTINUES TO GROW AS SPACEBUSTER CLOSES 

Warehousexchange was the UK’s first online warehouse space broker when launched in October 2000.

The web site continues to provide an online catalogue of available warehouse space provided by warehousexchange clients, but the site has never provided online trading capability, serving instead as an initial point of contact with the warehousexchange team of warehousing and logistics professionals.

The Directors have always been convinced that customers were looking for a personal service when searching for warehouse space.  The warehousexchange staff take on the responsibility of finding the right space to match the customer’s brief, provide a shortlist to match the brief and arrange initial visits, accompanied if necessary before leaving the customer and the chosen warehouse operator to agree final details.

The warehousexchange space broking concept attracted several competitors to the market, but all chose to provide an online space directory rather than recognise that space broking is a service business.  Now the first and best known of those competitors, Spacebuster has closed its web site after 12 months in business, stating that “…online trading has not yet replaced traditional methods”

Meanwhile, warehousexchange goes from strength to strength. The web-site now shows detail of over 15 million sq ft of space across the UK, the number of customers is increasing dramatically as the warehousexchange brand becomes ever more widely known and the company is currently interviewing franchisees to extend the depth of coverage in all areas.

“The space broking business is not as easy as our so-called competitors believed “ said Roy Wilson, Joint Managing Director of warehousexchange limited  “We invest many hours with potential customers, ensuring that we know and understand their needs precisely. Because of this, when they do need space, they know that we can save them time by providing the solution that is right for them.  They appreciate the convenience of our service based business model”
